W98 to Vista printing on network

B

Bill

I have a machine w/Vista and a USB printer attached. My other W98 machine
shows the Vista machine in my home wireless network. It shows the public
folder but not the printer. I have manually typed the port address and a
message say "cannot connect printer off line. Firewalls are turned off,
wondering is it possible to still print ?

I have tried the same configuration, but had to give up. I got farther than
you, apparently -- I could see the Vista printer from W98SE, but the Vista
system hung up when I tried to print to it. The other way worked fine -
attaching the printer to the W98 machine and printing from Vista. Good
luck.
